CBC Radio One Toronto

CBC Radio One Toronto is the local edition of CBC Radio One for Toronto, Ontario. CBC Radio One is the English-language news, talk and features network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and each local station adds its own morning and afternoon programmes about regional news, weather, traffic, community stories and events to the national shows that are heard across the country. Toronto is Canada's largest city and its main media centre, with a very diverse population, and the local hosts are well known in the area.The CBC is Canada's national public broadcaster and is funded mainly by the federal government, and Radio One carries no commercial advertising. The national schedule includes current affairs, documentaries, comedy, science, arts and the late-night programmes that listeners across the country know well, so the stream mixes local and national voices. The language is English, with Canadian accents, which suits learners and Canadians living abroad who want to keep in touch with home. Some programmes may be restricted outside Canada because of rights. This stream is delivered as AAC at only 48 kbps, a low-bandwidth setting that uses very little data and starts quickly, which is practical on weak mobile networks, although the sound is less detailed than on higher-bitrate streams; speech remains perfectly understandable.
